Girls, you know we love you but some things you just never want to hear no matter how true it is.

For example, we can never tell you the dress makes you look fat.

When you ask us were we checking out that girl at the mall you want to hear no.

If you ask us which of your friends we would hypothetically go out with were we not going out with you, you want to hear none of them.

When you ask us will we be together forever you don't want to hear 'probably' you want to hear yes, no matter how impossibly long forever actually is.

When do you want to be lied to, about what, and why is it so ok sometimes to be dishonest?

What things should we never lie about? Should we admit if we cheated, is it ok to say your cousin is hot, and have you ever appreciated honest answers when you don't want to hear it?

I don't want to be lied to. I like to think of myself as a realist. I don't want to get a load of BS from someone I'm dating. The most important thing in a relationship is trust. My guy has a problem being 100% honest with me, but it's over stupid things, like his feelings.. We were at a rough point in our relationship- I was moving far away.. He basically told me that he didn't like me in that way. He told me a couple days later that he only told me that so I wouldn't stress out about the move and being away from him. He thought it would be easier to forget him that way. I still bug him about stuff like that. I want the truth from him- always, no matter what. I mean, I would like for my guy to tell me that I look beautiful in that dress.. but if it looks awful on me, I would definitely want him to say something! lol

I don't want to be lied to either! Maybe I'm just saying that b/c I'm a girl, IDK! But don't lie. If you think whatever you have to say is going to hurt my feelings, ease into it and sugarcoat it. If I press further, stop sugarcoating and tell me straight up.

I read an essay once that claimed lying to protect my feelings is similar to playing God. You have the power and you decide "what's best for me" or you're trying to protect yourself. Both are pretty selfish. Just be real and say what it is.

If you're checking out a girl and I call you on it, don't lie because I already know. I just want to know how you'll respond.

Call me crazy, I don't ever want to be lied to. so I'll take these one at a time...

1. the dress ? - If you ask you should be prepared for the worst then you take it or leave it. If you agree return the dress if not wear it and know that he doesn't like it tough luck.

2. Checking out the girl at the mall - been there I goof off about it all the time. If you ask that? you should be prepared to hear damn she's hot!! if your not they that's just stupid of you. I will even sometimes see then doing it and instead of asking a ? I will be like damn she's nice looking if you weren't here I would totally go talk to her *that always is funny as hell to watch the guys reaction*. I learned a long time ago guys are guys they are gonna look just like girls look. You just have to look at it like they are here with me they didn't leave to go talk to her - if they did they are shallow.

3. Asking which of my friends would you hookup with is just stupid. its a trap and very mean any girl who would ask this is just looking for a bad answer and will get one b/c it won't be none of them unless its a lie.

4. the together forever- yes I want to hear yes, but I would rather be told that right now its great that he loves me or even likes mean lot and have it be honest than have someone say yes I will be there forever and leave in a week or a month or w/e

I never want to be lied to I always want the truth, and yes sometimes it hurts, but with these situations it isn't meant to be hurtful always it's that you asked and so you should expect to hear the truth. I would want to know if I had been cheated on, just don't expect me to throw you a party about it.

I don't care about the your cousin is hot thing they probably are just don't preach on it forever say it then leave it alone. I always appreciate the honest answer and will never be mad for getting the answer, the only thing up there that would bother me is the cheating and even then I would respect you for being honest you would also just not be in good standing b/c of the situation.

homer You sure sound like an exception. I will give some of the girls I have known some credit that they could take some good criticism, but even then, would bring it up to me later and rub it on my face how I didn't like the belt buckle or something as silly. - 11 months ago
Maxfield I can think of people who don't want the truth, but then again I can think of a lot of stupid people. A life without truth is no life at all. - 11 months ago
lovebird01 Its never a good idea to lie to anyone. Then you have to worry about covering up the lies. Honesty is always the best policy! - 11 months ago

I think questions like what you listed are the ones you would say what she wants to hear, it'll make your life a little easier, other wise just answer questions truthfully when you know that a girl won't yell at you for the truth.

Don't lie ... if I say "Yes that makes you look like a fat cow" and its the truth ... she may get mad but in the end will love your truth and faith and will depend on it.
